Hokages and the Shinigami Realm

by ItachiLeeHatake

This story is about the afterlife of Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze. Whether it was fate or misfortune that they had their souls taken by the Death God, the four Hokages now have no choice but to linger in such a undesirable realm. As if that isn't troubling enough, now a mysterious and dangerous shinobi appears in front of them.

4. Chapter 4

Hashirama takes a step forward. "I'll take care of the jinchurki. My Mokuton will suppress the Ichibi's chakra. Do not worry, Minato. I will not bring harm to your wife's soul."

"I appreciate it."

"And I'll handle Jiraiya-boy. As his sensei, I recognize most of his techniques." Hiruzen says.

Minato gives Hiruzen a nod and then turns his head to Tobirama. "Lord Second, assist me in fighting Tobi. Your extraordinary genjutsu will be of much use."

"Understood."

Hiruzen emotionally prepares himself to clash with Jiraiya. Hashirama readies himself to defeat Shukaku, but to save Kushina in the process. Tobirama and Minato stand side-by-side, ready to take down the man responsible for so much chaos.

All three battles are occurring at the same time, but Hiruzen vs Jiraiya is focused on first.

Hiruzen vs Jiraiya

The third Hokage charges at Jiraiya. As he approaches Jiraiya, the Sannin uses Needle Jizo. Hundreds of needle-like strands of hair make their way toward Hiruzen, who leaps up and evades the attack. As Sandaime is still in mid-air, Jiraiya attacks him with Fire Release: Flame Bullet. The attack is countered by Hiruzen's Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet. Hiruzen lands and Jiraiya runs towards him. The Toad Sage then weaves a Rasengan while making his way to Hiruzen. Ten feet away, Jiraiya jumps and his rasengan multiples in size.

"Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan." Jiraiya says in a very dull voice.

Hiruzen defends with Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, but he makes it diagonal instead of the usual vertical. The Rasengan completely destroys the wall. Jiraiya finds an unconscious Hiruzen in the rubble and punches him in the chest. Jiraiya's fist gets stuck in Hiruzen's torso, the figure turns out to be a mud clone. The mud holds Jiraya's right hand in place and Hiruzen emerges from a broken piece of his decimated earth wall. He then quickly approaches Jiraiya from behind, puts his left hand's palm on his back and weaves a hand sign with his right.

"Release!" Hiruzen commands.

Jiraiya faints and Hiruzen catches him.

Hiruzen then lays him down far away from the carnage of the other battles. I'd better stay nearby and watch over him until he regains consciousness. It's up to the others, now...
